Get a low profile. Depending on your size receiver you may need extra space.

I used the same shims as a futaba and everything lined up perfect

I agree on the rear hubs, I broke mine after like 3 laps on the car. Did not hit anything just a weird landing on a step on step off section. Same track Matt was at I believe. Lucky there was a Team Losi driver there that hooked me up with another one that night. Talk about customer sevice! LOL

Default Diff/drivetrain smoothness

Hey Guys, just have my shocks to build and my 22 will be done. Just wondering if the drive-train in the cars are coming together smooth? With mine as soon as the diff halves are tightened down, it seems to bind, in addition to the diff being smooth but tight before it won't slip. I've sanded the diff rings on 600 grit sandpaper and replaced the balls with carbide non-losi balls. When I have 2 of the 3 gears in the diff it seems to be fine (lay shaft/center gear) but as soon as the diff goes in and the case installed, the resistance goes up significantly. Just wondering if anyone has this problem? If so, does it settle in with use? Thanks in advance!

Idler seems to have a high shoot. Wears in after a pack or so. Make sure the diff case is not over tightened and d this distorted.

Make sure you don't crank down on the bolts on the case. Put some thread lock on the bolts in the motor plate and only lightly snug them.I also clean out the bearings and lightly oil them. I run on a well prepped track though.

Hey guys, I need some quick help for the 22 guide. Which servo shims reccomends in the manuel are wrong? And how many shims do you need for each brand of servo? Other than that, the guide is done, and it will be posted shortly. Guess how many words it is?

Savox servos depend on model.
1251 uses 2.5 mm of shims
